On March 13, 2006, the Satellite Division granted Mobile Satellte Ventures Subsidiary
LLC‘s request to designate Stratos Communications, Inc.‘s(*Stzatos") earth station
applications that seek special temporary authority to provide Mobile Satellte Services in
the L—band with Inmarsat‘s 4F2 satellte,to be located at 52.75° W.L., as "permit—but—
disclose" for purposes ofthe Commission‘s rules goveming ex parte communications.
See Motion to Designate Proceeding as «Permit—But—Disclose,"filed by Mobile Satellte
Ventures Subsidiary LLC on March 9, 2006. We find that designating these Stratos
applications for special temporary authority as "permit—but—disclose"will facilitate
resolution ofthe complex policy issues raised by the applications. Thus, we designate

"permit—but—disclose," effective March 13, 2006. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1200(a), 1.1206 and
1.1208 note 2. This action is without prejudice to any determination regarding the

  concerning the management ofL band spectrum,including complex technical issues, which are
  the same issues mised by similar previouslyfiled applications currently pending before the
  Intermational Bureau to operate with an uncoordinated Inmarsat stelit." The Intemational
  Bureau has already designated these previously filed applications as permit—but—disclose
  proceedings? A free exchange ofviews, particularly with Commission engineers,will be useful
  in creating a more complete record.
         Based on the foregoing, MSV respectfully equests that the Commission designate the ex
